Limb Poems - Poems about Limb

Phantom Limb of Time
The scent of rain on hot asphalt, unearths a ghost of childhood summers, barefoot and reckless. A melody drifts from a passing car, a forgotten soundtrack to teenage dreams, suddenly vivid, almost touchable. The chipped porcelain of a teacup, held in my grandmother's frail hands, now warms my own, a phantom heat. These fragments, shards of a shattered mirror, reflecting moments that no longer are, yet pulse...

Out On a Limb
Ok I am going to trot this one out once again not knowing if it will be better received than When it flopped in Peoria. I love to hear people laugh.I love to have a part in making people laugh.Sometimes I get carried away in that pursuit. Once while talking on the phone to my oldest sister and hearing her little...

Premium Member Canary On a Limb
One sunny afternoon amid a snowstorm appeared a lovely rainbow. A canary on a limb chirped a sweet tune, but he had no voice and was tone-deaf. The small blind hound below witnessed the whole show. If you doubt the story, call up the deaf mouse that’s studying to be a chef. 09/07/2021 Contest:Nonsense Rhyme Sponsor: Charles Messina...

Shoe On a Limb
I felt I’d been to hell and back before we reached the reedy flat, where the cattle mobbed before we crossed the stream. Old Harry called me over, taking off his battered hat “This is where she died so it does seem”. He pointed to a river gum that was old and gnarled with age, where a shoe hung on...
